[ros-dev] Idea to protect ReactOS

[Jeff Smith]

With the issue of Ekush  talking about sending us patches once they 
publish thier code and what not I as many of you are worried about being 
tainted, I have an idea, but I don't know how safe it is from a GPL 
stand point (I know nothing of the GPL)  here's the idea, when we get 
patches that are questionable from *any* source,  we send MS a copy of 
the suggested patch,  and request they compare it with thier code to see 
if it is differant or  the same as thier Windows code,  if MS comes back 
and says it's teh same we delete the patch and move on...

I know this idea sounds bad but we need to discuss a plan for any 
potential tainting and how we'd deal with it, please if you don't like 
my idea then please by all means suggest something else.
